How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
- WMV (WMV Video)
If you write STL code and want take advantage of the BCL while still being able to write STL code, then you're in luck. How so? Well, Nikola Dudar, program manager in the VC++ Libraries Group explains, in detail, the Orcas STLCLR library. We also dig into
the evolutionary trajectory of VC++, and discuss some other interesting Orcas C++ libraries. Tune in. Lots of great stuff going on in VC++ World...

The biggest example is iteratators and how lovely orthogonal they are. Take <algorithm>; any of those algorithms are applicable to anything that even remotely looks like an iterator. Yet in the managed world, most of those algorithms are class members, and quite often I've found myself needing to sort an IList<T>, which isn't possible directly since Sort is a member of List<T>. If you want to sort e.g. a LinkedList<T> you either need to copy the contents to a List<T> or an array first or roll your own sort. That is not othogonal. A static method somewhere to sort any IList<T> (sorta like Array.Sort, only with ILists instead) would go a long way.
For the last several weeks, I have not been able to play the smaller bandwidth-friendly .WMV "Full Screen" version. The Download version works fine. I get the following error -
Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. For additional assistance, click Web Help.
You've encountered error message C00D11B1 while using Windows Media Player. The following information might help you troubleshoot the issue.
This error might have been triggered by an error in another program or component of Windows. The following information describes the original error.

Is it just me?
Am I high on crack?
Does anyone know if managed C++ is being used in any production products?
Microsoft seems to be all but ignoring unmanaged development now, continually pounding out this "managed managed managed" mantra for C++. But I've yet to encounter anything but unmanaged in the wild, so I would be interested to see what managed is being used for.
What gives you this impression? C++ CLI is mostly used for interop between C++ and managed. It's a great (and natural) way to .NET enable unmanaged applications... So, consider the case when you want to interop with .NET from MFC, for example. We will be releasing a video on Channel 9 that provides an example of exactly this in, yes, a shipping MS product...
C
dont forget: the best video on channel9 is still the hike with Bill Hill!
i'm really looking forward to watching the video on native/managed integration in a shipping product. i suppose visual studio itself might be the product with the most interop going on....
I usually do not login to reply to this board, but I had to this time. (BTW I LOVE CHANNEL 9, I watch it everyday while I code in my igloo (I live in Toronto, Canada)).
I use Managed C++ in some of my applications that is part of a production system. The code is part of a communications application (cant tell ya more than that) that is originally written in UnManaged C++ ( I wont use the word legacy). I like the mix of unmanged C++ and managed C++ together. For me, I will code in the right language/framework to completed the solution.
^ So do not be scared to try out a Managed / Unmanaged C++ combo together !
If you watch all the VC++ videos here on channel 9, you would know that Microsoft is not pushing "managed managed managed". I suggest you watch the video:
BEST Channel 9 video on the server
BTW, can we have more VC++ interviews
note: I just finished my morning coffee so I maybe no a sugar high for the next 20 minutes
jjones -
You're high!
Works fine here - XP SP2 & WMP 11
